ChuckBrodsky's visit to the Downpatrick Folk Club last year was one of the most memorable musical events we've experienced for a long time and he performed brilliant versions of songs from his four excellent CD releases.
Chuck's subjects range from humorous redneck stories to baseball memories to protest songs whose chief weapon is a gentle wit.
Chuck’s song "Radio" was used by NFL Films for a national broadcast on ESPN about a man with Down's Syndrome who is adored by his whole community.
ChuckBrodsky's recent visit to the Downpatrick Folk Club was one of the most memorable musical events we've experienced for a long time and he performed brilliant versions of many of the songs from the "Radio" album in his set.
Brodsky, ever the optimist, ends the song with a hopeful note and the satire is good humoured, the listener not embittered.
The melodic guitar picking and Chuck's intimate vocal style, as much as the theme, bring a lump to the throat, as he tells how tough Coach Jones' heart is melted by the helpless, innocent mute at a time when race relations where at an all time low.
